Are you Hyped for Hopkins v Wright ?

[-EX-]

I think it'll be good, so I'm gonna be watching.

[robjr]

no. its not worth buying ppv. ill watch it later.

Precisely. It's easily one of the more intriguing bouts of the year. But intrigue alone doesn't justify a $50 price tag in order to watch it. Even as a longtime Wink fan, this is a rare fight of his that I most likely won't watch, which is sad considering that it is and probably will prove to be the biggest fight of his career

IMO, they should have put some decent undercard bouts on to make it more attractive to buyers.

It takes someone who follows the sport very, very closely to get excited about the undercard bouts...

Oscar Larios vs. Jorge Linares (Linares has never fought in the US)

Michael Katsidis (no US fights; no name opponents) vs. Czar Amonsot (no national TV fights)

These could be 3 very good, competitive bouts - but it's hard to sell the PPV as must see when it's headlined by two old defensive fighters and 3 relatively unknown undercard fighters - plus Larios, who looks like he's padding his late-career record (two of last three opponents, following PPV losses, had records of 1-8 and 6-3...)

I think this will be the ultimate boxing match. Two GREAT technicians with difficult defense. Hopkins the southpaw killer against the younger quicker southpaw Wright. That being said I don't think we're in for a Gatti-Ward type of night and the undercard doesn't jump out at me so I will eagerly await watching it for free on cable.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. That's all I have to say. they;re both not excitong enough to be on ppv. I'll say what a previous poster said. If they had better undercards, then it might be worth it. That fight belongs on espn friday night fights IMO.

[realheavyhands]

i might get it

[starjammer]

Its free on sky sports in europe, so **** it, I'll watch it, just because they're two great personalities in the sport. I don't expect action.

I remember that fight night 2 video!

[beauty]

Nope! I might watch it if im having trouble sleeping.

Laughing hysterically at your avatar!


I am not too excited. I guess we will see though. I hope Winky wins, though.

[RisAri0]

I'm hyped...cuz I'm the type that loves the sweet science and enjoys a good brawl..so either way u put it....

[The Troll]

nah, I can't stay awake for Hopkins Tarver and that's actually a good fight for the old Bernard, this will be way worse than that.
